Hi Mixxxers -- did you miss us? The Mixxx team has been quietly toiling for over 2 years to bring you Mixxx 1.12. This will be our biggest release ever and we need your help to make sure that it's our best ever as well. We've been doing alpha testing with our dedicated forum users for a while now and are ready to release Mixxx 1.12 Beta!

There are too many new features and fixes to list all of them, but here's just some of the new things Mixxx can do:

4 Decks with Master Sync

New Effects Framework with 4 Effect Units and 5 Built-in Effects:

Flanger

Bit Crusher

Reverb

Echo

Filter

More to come!

Configurable, Resizeable User Interface with 3 Brand New Skins

Cover Art Display

Music Key Detection and Shifting

Vinyl Audio Pass-Through

4 Microphone inputs and 4 Auxiliary inputs

MIDI Mapping GUI and Improved Learning Wizard

RGB Musical Waveforms

Hundreds of Bug Fixes and Improvements

New Pitch-Independent Algorithm for Better-Sounding Key-lock.

If you tried the Alpha release, be sure to check out the Beta. There are a ton of new features and fixes even since then. And we'll be updating the Beta every week, so you can always have the latest updates.

Help Translate Mixxx
In order to make this release rock in every language we need your help with translations! We are currently in dire need of translations for Chinese and Japanese (among many other languages).
Check out our Transifex page and internationalization wiki for details on how to get started.

We're always looking for new contributors who are interested in working on Mixxx. If you're a hacker, artist, or translator and want to work with a creative, enthusiastic team, hop on our IRC channel (#mixxx on Freenode) or sign up for our developer mailing list.

May I ask if anyone comes across any new keystroke in the new beta version to drop me a mail at jamrokka@googlemail.com please please please. I use the software to mix tunes ok, but because I have no sight I use a screenreader. I depend entirely on the keyboard keys to use mixxx so any headsup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Everyone I just want to thank you for the awesome work that you guys put into this! This program just keeps getting better and better. I think its finally to a point where this is going to be my primary Dj software.

Help please!!! I have Mixxx software version 1.11.0 and the "Mic" function does not work. The "Mic" button lights up but the talk button does not, nor does it respond. The software recognizes my USB mixer in preferences and allows me to select it. If at all possible, can someone get back to me by today or tomorrow with an answer? I had to postpone a talk show last weekend due to the mic function not working and would hate to have to do so again this coming weekend.

Hi,I tested the 1.12.b1 version on Windows XP 32 Bits, but when I run it, it says :"le point d'entrée de procédure SetCurrentConsoleFontEx est introuvable dans la bibliothèque de liaisons dynamique KERNEL32.dll" (The procedure entry point SetCurrentConsoleFontEx could not be located in the dynamic link library: Kernel32.dll, in english), so I can't execute it.

Great work! I am using mixxx for a long time and the new version seems going to be perfect... If I had one wish, I would prefer a smaller percentage of the scalling factor for the waveform. Sometimes it would be usefull to see approx. 1min in advance for a 10min track.

Awesome! Huge fan of mixxx and this release makes it feature complete in comparison to other DJ software. So excited for all the new effects and the ability to chain! I tried out the beta and it looks like it can even do key recognition now and the resizable GUI is awesome! Things are glitchy and slow still but I'm sure it'll be smooth by the time it gets to release -- great job guys!

Had tried the beta but it began to freeze up after a added more of my library. I love the look and feel. Hope it gets fixed soon. The stable version has mic issues. Did not get a chance to see if the beta had them too.

sorry i do not like it to hi tach for a basic users like me ,be nice if you could make a simple version just for streaming into Seacond Life with mic able and auto dj streamline version would be nice .

I use Mixxx in a club and keep getting asked about using the TVs around the dance floor so when will Mixxx be able to play mp4/avi music video files and output the video to the video card and the audio to normal selected audio outs??? thanks
